INSPIRATIONS FOR THIS RECIPE?

I’ve always loved peanut butter in dishes. Growing up Canadian-Filipino, my favorite dish ever is kare-kare which is a delicious rich peanut butter stew with lots of meat and vegetables. I am that girl who eats peanut butter by the spoonful so you know I would give any excuse to add peanut butter to my meals! Aside from my favorite Filipino dish being kare-kare, I also always make Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce (Gỏi cuốn) whenever I have all the ingredients on hand.

This is technically where I got the inspiration for this dish as peanut sauce is pretty much comprised of peanut butter and hoisin sauce! I pretty much can drink this sauce so creating this peanut butter chicken just makes sense! I also created a Vietnamese Spring Roll Inspired Peanut Butter Rice Noodles recipe that I love too!

ANY OTHER NOTES?

The peanut butter can thicken up really quick so if it’s too thick, lower the heat and just add a tbsp of water at a time and stir it in to make it less thick! I honestly love a thick sauced stew but if you want a more runny sauce, do this and taste as you go!

Indulge in the exquisite flavors of Asia with Easy Asian Peanut Butter Chicken. Elevate your dining experience with this dish that’s sure to impress. Enjoy the fusion of savory and nutty flavors in every bite!
